M. Harryana lilacina, Williams. — A very delicate-coloured 

 and beautiful form, having broad almost circular flowers of a 

 bright rosy lilac colour, which is quite distinct from that of 

 any other variety known to us. — Neiv Grenada. 



M. Harryana miniata, Williams and Moore. — Although 

 M. Harryana varies as much as any Orchid we know of, we 

 had no suspicion or hope that a scarlet-flowered variety would 

 ever present itself. Great was our surprise, therefore, when 

 visiting the collection of W. Lee, Esq., Downside, Leather- 

 head, in the summer of 1883, to find a beautiful vermilion- 

 coloured form of this plant. We subsequently met with the 

 same variety in the collection of R. Warner, Esq., Chelmsford. 

 In this form the flowers are of the full average size, the lateral 

 sepals being fully two inches long and one inch wide, of a 

 bright vermilion-red flushed with scarlet, the principal ribs 

 being marked out with rich crimson lines, and the yellow 

 eye being very distinct. It is a bright-looking and attractive 

 variety of surpassing beauty. — New Grenada.

M. Harryana sanguinea, Hort. — A distinct and handsome 

 form, having large brilliantly-coloured flowers of a reddish 

 crimson, flushed with orange. — New Grenada. 



M. Harryana Splendens, Hort. — A very high-coloured and 

 beautiful variety, having broad finely-shaped flowers of an 

 intense mauve-magenta, the veins being distinctly marked 

 with rich crimson. — New Grenada. 



M. Harryana versicolor, Moore. — This is the most distinctly 

 marked variety we have yet met with. The flowers are large, 

 almost circular, and enhvened by a deep yellow eye ; the 

 lateral sepals have a ground colour of bright magenta, 

 variously marked with rich maroon-crimson : in some in- 

 stances the markings take the form of a conspicuous band on 

 each of the outer margins, in other cases they consist of 

 blotches of irregular outline variously distributed on the 

 surface. This fine variety was first noted among the choice 

 Orchids cultivated in the ducal gardens at Trentham, and we 

 have also seen it in the grand collection of Sir Trevor Law- 

 rence, Bart., M.P., Burford Lodge, Dorking. — New Grenada. 



M. Houtteana, Bchh. f. — A distinct and free-flowering spe- 

 cies of a very pleasing character. It forms dense tufts of
